Students can practice matching words to the correct definition, and donate rice at the same time.
For each correct answer, the United Nations World Food Programme donates 10 grains of rice to a country in need. How’s that for combining word learning with social goodness? When a student plays, there is a visual display of rice (see image) which is added to a bowl each time the student makes a correct response.
Free Rice includes subject area lists in Geography, Science, Math, and others. It is leveled so students can play at just the right level of challenge for them.

"Free self-paced quizzes to review, assess, and engage—in class and at home."
This is a great formative assessment tool that makes learning and reviewing feel like a game.
This tool is great for students when working individually (compared to Kahoot! and Quizlet where the class plays together). Kids could do them at a station, centre or even for homework.
Turn your assessment into a game!
Anyone can use Quizlet to study and learn content created by other users, or to create your own custom study sets. You can also share sets with friends, classmates or your students.
The best way to get started on Quizlet as a student or a teacher is to search for sets made by other Quizlet users. Students and teachers create new study sets all the time, so it's quite likely that you'll be able to find what you're looking for.
This is a great tool for formative assessment. Students can work in groups and compare answers and learn from one another.
You can come to this site and watch Reindeer live on camera! Santa even makes appearances to feed them. Apparently you can catch elves or the Grinch from time to time as well!
You can check to see if you are on the nice list!
You can also come here to listen to Santa read stories. How cool is it to have Santa read you a bedtime story?
This would be a good creative writing or journal entry prompt for ELA as well.
